2nd 10 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has a patchy profile but he justified support when bouncing back with a strong-finishing win here (1m4f) last month; up 4lb but that was a cosy success and the form has been boosted by the runner-up since; interesting contender. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good. |
8/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded her second win when scoring over 1m4f here last month but she was a well-held fourth in follow-up bid at Southwell on Saturday; has a bit to prove after that and this is a quick turnaround. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form. |
4/6 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner here for Simon Dow last year who made a solid start for his new yard back on turf, having been picked up for 11,000gns, at Ripon nine days ago; just cracked late there on his first run in three months and has a good chance today. |
4/6 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Three Lingfield AW wins (1m4f-1m5f) for Simon Dow; changed hands in April for 11,000gns and only time will tell how he fares for his new handler; relatively unexposed on turf (0-3) but may strip fitter for this off an 83-day break. |

Kickstarted 2026 with C&D success and has continued in good form, back from two months off with second of 14 over C&D four weeks ago; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 (12) |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Outsider of four when belatedly doubling his tally at Southwell last April (1m3f); hit the frame last two starts (1m2f) but not sure dropping back to 1m will see him play a bigger role this evening; Penfolds Grange looks connections' best hope. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing run and he's yet to hit top form this season, going keenly when a fading fourth of 11 over C&D in February; needs to take a step forward. |

Won three times here (1m/1m2f) before his spell in Ireland and showed the ability remains when third of ten over 1m2f at this course last month; only sixth back here again since, though. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tough type who has been on the go since last December, winning at Nottingham and just touched off at Leicester (both at about 1m), but seemingly suited by the shortest trip he's tackled this year when making all over C&D 11 days ago; back up 3lb; can go well again. |
13/8 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Consistent since his Nottingham win in April (good) and latest race at Hamilton for which he was favourite didn't go to plan; ideally wants further, however. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Took advantage of a drop back in trip and ease in grade (into a Class 6) when scrambling home at Nottingham (8.5f, good; from 3lb lower) in April; beaten by a nose off this mark at Leicester (1m) in May and consistent since; possible. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

Maiden; respectable fifth over 1m3f at Kempton 17 days ago but Sonnerie Power and Voix De Bocelli were ahead of him; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. |
11/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden; showed broadly progressive form as a 2yo but has gone the other way this season; may be helped by this drop in grade off a reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
7 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Suffered a near miss on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) but has finished a well-held sixth in two runs since being gelded and this could be tougher again; what might help is now going beyond 1m, being a son of Ulysses. |

0-14 and, apart from one early bid for glory on Polytrack five starts ago, he is mostly struggling to break out of rear this term; opposed. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis. |
